See What It’s Like To Have A Brand New Leeds Cerec Smile

Saturday, September 6th, 2014

iStock_000000363253XSmallIf you’re searching for an example to demonstrate how amazing modern dentistry is, look no further than Cerec. Allow us to tell you just how great this technology is!

What is Cerec?

Cerec is a form of technology, which has revolutionised the way dentists provide restorative treatment for their patients. Traditionally, dentists send impressions of the teeth away to dental technicians and then fit new restorations around 2 weeks later, but with Cerec, we can complete the entire process, from the design concept to the finished result, in just a single day. Cerec also enables us to do everything on-site, which means that the process is easy, convenient and very quick.

With Cerec technology, images of the teeth are converted into 3D models, which are sent across to the milling machine; the milling process takes minutes and once it is complete, the new restoration can be fitted.

Cerec enables us to create bespoke crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers without the need for temporary restorations, putty moulds or waiting around for 2 weeks.

How can Cerec benefit me?

Cerec is hugely beneficial for any patient that needs restorative treatment. The treatment process is incredibly convenient and quick, there’s no need to find time for repeat appointments and you can have the permanent restoration fitted straightaway. The process is more accurate and it affords dentists and patients more influence in the design stage.

If you would like to find out more about Cerec or book an appointment for a new crown, call us today or bob in and see us if you’re planning to head into Leeds in the near future.

Porcelain Onlays In LS1 Can Maintain Your Tooth’s Natural Structure

Sunday, April 13th, 2014

2815331_blogAt City Dental Leeds we offer a range of restorative treatments to strengthen and restore your teeth and improve oral function. We use the highest quality materials to provide you with amazing aesthetics and bespoke restorations, which last the test of time.

Onlays are sometimes known as partial crowns and they are often used in cases where a filling is insufficient, but a total crown is not required. Onlays are often made from porcelain for natural aesthetics. They are used to treat and repair teeth that have been damaged by injury or decay. Onlays are very similar to inlays, but they cover the cusps of the biting surface of the teeth.

Onlays are designed for the individual and they should last for several years. They are often the best option when a filling is broken or too large for the tooth, or when the tooth has broke as a result of injury, trauma or the tooth has severely decayed.

Whatever your restorative needs in the heart of Leeds, we can help! Whether you need a filling, a new crown, a porcelain onlay or a new tooth, we have amazing treatments to help restore your teeth and create a more attractive and healthy looking smile. If you need treatment, call in and telephone us to make an appointment.
